This comes as the EFA wants to avoid any clashes with the UEFA Champions League final showdown between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid which is set to be held on Saturday evening, the same time of El-Gaish-Maqassa encounter.

Head of Competitions Committee Amer Hussein said that he received an approval from security forces to bring the game forward, to be played on Friday instead of Saturday.

El-Gaish enter the game being in the 11th place with 36 points obtained from 8 victories, 12 draws and 9 losses, while Faiyum-based club occupy the eighth place with 11 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses, bagging 36 points so far.
